STEERING
Steering sticks at any speed. Feels like the steering wheel gets stuck. When I put pressure to move the wheel I often put too much pressure causing me to turn the wheel too far.

STEERING
I am also experiencing the issue described in NHTSA action number EA23003. The steering is "sticky" leading to ever-changing steering effort. At times, so much force has to be applied that overcorrection occurs. It decreases the safety margin when driving and applying corrective steering to prevent lane departure or collision. I have luckily not had any accident occur as of yet, but I can easily imagine it contributing to a collision if and when the margin for an accident is sufficiently narrowed. There are no warning lights or messages provided by the car for this issue. When I asked Honda about the issue, they said I would have to pay a fee to even have the vehicle looked at. They also stated that it would cost over $3000 to fix if it was found to be the same issue described in TSB 23-037. My vehicle only had 47,000 miles when I unwittingly purchased it with the issue. They said that they could not replace it for free because it was not under warranty and there was no recall for the issue, just a TSB. I am surprised that this is still not a recall given how apparent a safety risk it is. Frequently I have to jerk the wheel for it to break free and respond to steering input. It's unfortunate that Honda is not being more proactive about replacing this component. Please let me know what else I can do to help progress this to a recall. Thank you

STEERING
Steering column clicking when turning and sticky steering at times. Safety put at risk because of the sticking steering column. Problem has been noted in civics of this year, but my car does not come up as needing any recall even though it’s affected by this problem. VIN is not registering in recall database.

STEERING
When driving at hwy/interstate speeds the cars steering wheel has a catch or stiff spot. This happens when the wheel stays in the same place for a second or two. This happens while driving straight and making micro corrections to keep the car in the lane. It also happens while driving into a curve it turns smoothly into the curve but once you hold the wheel in the curve for a second and then try straighten the wheel it hits the resistance. I have found I need to do 1 of 2 things to avoid possibly losing control of the vehicle. Once I hit the resistance I turn away from it slightly and then back into it and it then goes without resistance. Turning into it more works also but is risky as you can get through it but it becomes easy to turn once you do and it causes an over correction if not aware and reduces the drivers ability to handle the vehicle.

STEERING
When driving at highway speeds the steering for the car gets slightly "sticky" requiring minor corrections to remain on the road/in the lane. To "un-stick" it, it typically requires a slight pressure to the left. This is obviously distracting and potentially unsafe. ** Please note ** when this occurs I am **not** driving with lane-keep assist, cruise control or any other assists active. I'm in the process of scheduling an appointment with the service center to look into this but I heard of this issue from others and drove the same car that did not have this problem so I want to log it here.

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The steering wheel keeps sticking while driving. This is specially dangerous while in a turn because you have to force steering wheel out of the turn and quickly correct the vehicle’s reaction as it becomes unstuck. This is a HUGE safety issue and is scary to drive like this.

STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
At around 15K miles I started having an issue where my steering wheel would stick at an angle. Almost like it was stopped and shut off. As I would attempt to turn the wheel from left to right it would get semi stuck and you’d have to force it to break it free. This had happened numerous times and is an issue with the 11th gen si. The power steering rack and pinion were replaced under warranty after taking the car in multiple times and them claiming they never could replicate the issue. However, they replaced it with the same part so the issue will come back. During the time before replacement it got stuck and I had to pull hard to avoid hitting a car, barriers on freeway 99, flying off a cliff, and avoid driving off the road.

Steering constantly sticks and is difficult to turn once car is warmed up. The main issue is highway driving as it can get stuck and takes a lot of effort to keep straight. Issue keeps progressing and dealership will not fix under warranty.

STEERING
- The steering gearbox seems to have a manufacturing defect in the gearing. This is causing the steering to get slightly stuck at the center. - I do mostly highway driving, The steering getting slightly stuck at highway speeds is endangering my safety and the safety of people around my vehicle. - The problem was confirmed by Ourisman Honda in Frederick, MD (I will attach the diagnosis paperwork for verification) - The car has only been inspected by Ourisman Honda. It has not fully stuck up to this point. - There were no signs, the issue just began happening and nothing had said there was an issue until I had it diagnosed at the dealership.

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks, especially at highway speeds, but also lower speeds after driving for a period of time. The steering wheel jerks when trying to ease right or left. It feels very unsafe, especially on the highway, as it can cause overcorrection.

STEERING
The steering wheel feels "sticky" when trying to make some micro adjustments while traveling at highway speeds, and be alert more than usual. Often find myself correcting the oversteering at times, driver assist does help deal with stickiness but would to remain on alert.
